From notes taken 05/01/17:

Clear but hazy orange honey amber capped with cream colored dense but fluffy head of decent retention. Grass, faint grain, bread, and even caramel aromas. Palate is a little more malty tart and biscuity though still loaded with caramel and grass, some honey and a crisp, herbal, floral and sappy to almost piney hop finish. Good balance, extra drinkable. Lighter medium mouthfeel of watery substance but suds of velvety to tingly texture.

Reviewed from notes. The appearance was a light hazy golden orange colored body with a two finger white foamy head that rises a bit and falls to a half finger coating the top of the body (nice show), foamy clingy spider web lacing graces the sides of the glass. The smell was herbal, but spicy peppery citrus/lemon. The taste was basically the same, but adds a decent malt presence, smooth sweet sticky aftertaste and finish. The palate was light, sessionable. Carbonation is good for the style and decent to me, nothing lacking and nothing really standing out. Overall, many blonde ales on the market with more outstanding qualities. This one, well, not exactly sure, but maybe again.

All I can think when I drink this is how crisp it is. The flavors are mild and I get plenty of piney notes, but oh my god is it crisp. Seriously, try it and you'll see what I mean.
